Help with Sugar Apple

[Rachel-Eyes]

So last week I got a lot of ponies that included Sugar Apple.

I'm pretty happy since I love her.  But I'm not looking forward to fixing up her hair, since it's... weird.

Never before have I seen such a strange combination of both minty and frizzy.

I know that isn't uncommon for these ponies, but I've never worked with one with these types of curls before.

I'm just wondering if there's a way that I can somehow work the frizz back into the curls, since they are otherwise mint, or should I just straighten them out and then try my first ever straw curling project?

I guess I could just leave her as is, but the frizz is driving me nuts.

In all honesty, I'd try wetting it down and then combing it out before trying anything else.

I've never had that issue with ponies, but I have picked up several curly-haired Barbie dolls that looked pretty much like that, and all it took to get them looking normal again was a comb-out. I don't know if it'd work so well for a pony, as I know the hair material is completely different, but I'd say it's worth a shot.

Sounds weird but her hair actually looks as though it has burned. I have seen that when hair has been heated to such an extent to make it not just frizzy but "broken and wild" - that is almost what this looks like. But its odd its just on one or two curls :/

Have you thought of treating just that one issue? Cling film up the rest of the hair and pin it together with bobby pins/kirby grips. And then condition, wrap in clingfilm, wash out, add more clingfilm and flat iron. Just the one section. Then straw curl just those 2 ringlets back in.

Yes you will need to be really careful and yes you will run the risk of getting the other hair damp but perhaps its worth a shot before you resort to straightening out the other curls.

I have the same issue with some of my Candy Canes. Would love to know if you fixed it. (or when you're still working on it: I would love to know what does work and what doesn't)
